Skaiter McGee was half boy, half skateboard. He lived at the Ultimate Crystal Demonator Wishing Well Skate Park. Skaiter McGee, as you might expect, could do the half-pipe and a kick-flip, but what many people didn't know about him was that his skateboard could fly.
Skaiter McGee's best friend was Billy Naire Banky the Third. She was a superhero whose special power was to give away money. Billy had magical pockets. They looked normal, but in reality, they were infinite, and filled with money, diamonds, gems, and other riches. Billy only gave her money to the poor. She had another special power: the ability to see if someone was lying, so she always knew who needed money and who didn't.
One day, Skaiter McGee and Billy Naire Banky the Third went to the Dollar Store to get Billy a helmet. Little did they know, their arch-nemesis, the Bald Bandit, was also there.
The Bald Bandit was bald. He was also a bandit, so it was a fitting name. The Bald Bandit wore an eye patch, and it was his life's mission to swap out Billy's real riches with fake money that, instead of presidents, had a big bald picture of himself on it. He wanted to get his hands on Billy's riches so that he could buy a big selfish mansion.
"Where do we find the helmets?" Skaiter McGee asked Billy when they walked into the Dollar Store.
The Bald Bandit, lurking nearby, overheard them, and he quickly swapped out the actual helmets with mind-control helmets.
Billy led Skaiter McGee to aisle four and put a helmet on. "I suddenly want to give all my money to that bald guy lurking behind those shelves over there!" Billy started walking toward the Bald Bandit and . . .

. . . and jumped in front of Billy Naire Banky the Third. As the Bald Bandit was stealing Billy's money and riches, Skaiter McGee swooped up the Bald Bandit with his super amazing skateboard and took the Bald Bandit to the highest building. The Bald Bandit was astonished, "how can you fly like this?" he wondered. Skaiter McGee let Bald Bandit know that he better not steal money or he will find himself on a building with no way down. The Bald Bandit agreed, although he wasn't happy about it.


Quickly, Billy started giving her riches to the Bald Bandit. Watching her from aisle four, Skater McGee acknowledged his friend to take the helmet. It's hypnotizing you.  Billy could not hear him so the Bald Bandit took all of her belongings and money.

...said, "Hey who are you and why are you spying on us?" The Bald Bandit replied, "I'm the Bald Bandit and I want all of your little girlfriend's money."  Skater McGee had to think quickly. He couldn't just let Billy be robbed, but he was very intimidated by the Bald Bandit. Skater McGee pulled together all the courage he had and said to the Bald Bandit, "NO! I won't let you! If you want Billy, you'll have to go through me!" Just then everything started to shake; and a dark figure started to walk towards them down aisle. The figure grew closer, and closer until finally they could see who it was. It was the Bald Bandit's mom. She  was tall and Bald and she had two eyepatches, both over the same eye. She grabbed the Bald Bandit by the ear and said, "I told you to quit being a Bully. You are grounded mister!" She escorted the Bald Bandit out of the store and everything was cool and jolly again.

. . . jumped up at him. "No, I will not give you any of the money!" The Bald Bandit was not very happy to hear this. He had felt defeated and walked away. Once again everyone in town is safe again and Billy and Skaiter went on to live happily ever after.

...proceeded to give him a beautiful red ruby. Skaiter McGee recognized that it was the Bald Bandit, even though he put on a fake mustache. Skaiter McGee then did a kick-flip  in the air, knocked the helmet off Billy's head and then tripped the Bald Bandit. He then told Billy to put the helmet on the Bald Bandit. After Billy put the helmet on him, Skaiter McGee flew the Bald Bandit to the top of a high camp where the only way down was by skateboarding. Skaiter McGee knew that the Bandit was so bad at skateboarding that he would never come down. The Bandit is there to this day, and Billy and Skaiter McGee will never have to worry about him again.

Skaiter McGee half-rolled, half-ran to get in her way. "What in tarnation are you thinking?" he yelped, using both a questioning voice and an excited voice. "Listen", said Billy, sounding like a small tin robot. "Sometimes we can't explain the things we do for love". She began pulling rubies from her pockets and she walked closer to the laughing bald man. "Noooo!" screamed Billy and he, for the first time ever, did a half-pipe kick-flip as he flew down the aisle after her. He shrank down beneath her like a skateboard and she tripped, toppling over and hitting her head on the cold store floor. Luckily, she was wearing the helmet, which began to short-curcuit. "Curses!" screamed the Bald Bandit. "Hurrah!" said Bill and Skaiter McGee. "Helmet safety!" said the shopkeeper. Billy regained her faculties, paid and left the store with Skaiter.

Skaiter McGee 360-flipped towards the helmet but it was stuck. He was all alone, the Bald Bandit and Billy Naire Banky the Third were running at him. He saw that the Bald Bandit had a skateboard so he challenged him to S.K.A.T.E. Skaiter was very confident. The Bald Bandit started with a rollie hand-flip and landed it flawlessly. Skaiter didn't care. He busted out a 540-flip to nose manual with a shove-it out. Skaiter told him "lets go vert". The Bandit agreed to one term. "We only get one letter now" he snarled. Skaiter had been anticipating that because he could fly. Skaiter went up and spun a 1080-spin, an impossible move. The Bandit had lost and was sent to live with and skate every day with Quinn Gendregske.

Tripped on a toy, so she fell and her helmet came off.  She recognized the Bald Bandit right away, but Skaiter still had his helmet on, so he wanted to give the Bandit all his money anyway.  Billy couldn't convince him not to, so she let him go.  But she threw Skaiter's flying skateboard at the Bald Bandit's mind-control device and broke it.  Billy recognized the Bandit right away, and they both ran out of the store without giving him anything.

Skaiter McGee exclaimed, "Billy!  No!  Don't you know who that is?"
"Of course I do, it's a man who needs money and so I shall give it to him!" Billy answered as she started putting her hands in her pockets.  "Yes!  Finally I have tricked them and now I can buy that mansion I've always wanted!" Bald Bandit exclaimed as he admired his baldness in a mirror.  Skaiter McGee did not know what he could do, until . . .
"Ah-ha I've got it!"  He revved up his skateboard and flew right smack dab in the middle of the Bandit's bald forehead just as he was grabbing the money.  "Dang!  Blast it!"  cried Bald Bandit.  "I can't get up!"
Billy, however, ignored all this and threw him a bundle of bucks from her pockets.  "There you go dear sir, here is the money you need, if you want any more, just gimme a call!"
"What did you do!" cried Skaiter McGee.
"Finally, my brilliant plan will work!" Bald Bandit cackled as he ran through the streets.
"Why did you do that?  You knew he was lying," said Skaiter McGee.
"I knew he was lying.  I also knew that he was trying to brainwash me with this helmet, but Bald Bandit isn't too bright, he forgot the batteries!  So I gave him fake money with his own face on it, because I thought it would be funny!"
"Oh Billy, how great!  We've finally beat that blasted Bald Bandit and how cool would that be, to see his own face on those dollars!"
It was great and because of that greatness they giggled and gaggled all the way back to Ultimate Crystal Demonator Wishing Well Skate Park.  Bald Bandit had a giggle of his own, the kind where you giggle because you've been gaggled by your enemies with a creation of your own.

Suddenly, Skaiter McGee swooped in to trip up Billy Naire Bankey the Third to take him to the Bald Bandit.  On the way down the isle to the Bald Bandit, Billy Naire Banky the Third sees a pothole and throws a ruby into it.
    Being as clumsy as Skaiter McGee, he turns right into the pothole, knocking Billy off and onto the mattress and sending Skaiter into the Bald Bandit.  The helmet broke in two and smashed into the Bald Bandit knocking him out while Skaiter McGee landed on his wheels.  The bandit was hauled off to jail afterwards.

Proceeded to give him her money.  After the bandit received the money from Billy, he fled the dollar store with an evil grin.  Skaiter McGee, then surprised at the incident, looks at Billy and says, "What were you thinking?"
Billy, trying to recover from the mind control helmet looks at Skaiter McGee with a very puzzled and delirious expression.  Skaiter runs to the door too fast for Billy to react and stops the Bandit in his tracks.
"Give me the money," he barks as the wheels on his skateboard spark in excitement.
The Bandit chuckles and responds, "It's too late now you mutant child."  The Bandit then turns and continues to flee not knowing that Skaiter McGee was going into "Hawk Mode".  Then McGee leaps through the air and starts to ride circles around the Bandit until he gets dizzy and proceeds to perform other acrobatic tricks to seduce the villain.  While this is going on Billy comes back to her senses and snatches her money back from the occupied thief and continues to help the needy.

When she came to him, she began to empty her pockets.  Bald Bandit took the money and ran off in a hurry as Skaiter McGee rolled over, and pulled the helmet off Billy.  "Oh no!  What have I done?" asked Billy.  "Don't worry I'll get him."  Skaiter McGee started skating as fast as he could, so fast that his skateboard began to fly.  When he came to Bald Bandit he began to skate around him so fast that you could see the air.  Bald Bandit was so dizzy that he fell out.  At that time Skaiter McGee took back all of Billy's money that Bald Bandit took.  Skaiter McGee returned all of Billy's money and assured her that Bald Bandit will never be a problem again because he will be in jail for the rest of his life.
